"Rhule talked in coaching staff meeting last week for “about 6-7 hours straight”
Yikes. I think I'll look at some other keynote speakers for a group function this spring. 🤣

Snow is Holgerson-like in terms of being straightforward with the media. Learned he loved what Tony did on first and second down, but thought Tony lost the thread often on 3rd down, so rather than install a whole new offense, they are just going to fix 3rd down.
An all hands coach's meeting when you break down all of the relevant position groups could easily take a few hours. RB, QB, OL, TE, WR, DL, LB, DB, ST. That's almost 5 hours at 30 minutes per position group. I'd imagine this meeting has to happen at some point before spring ball.
Before people start in with "that is too long", well it is.
With that said, if you have even been in on coaches meetings they are usually the funnest things ever. It is not "all work and no play".
I am an early riser, I love getting up early. But I think sometimes we kind of get crazy with the idea of "working out early" as some sign of being a badass.
These are all type A people. They are jamming the equivalent of two jobs into one day.
This guy comes across like a future head coach. Great interview.
Shorts is going to turn our WR room 3 times better than last season.
Very impressed with those guys. Especially Snow. Hopefully they all pay dividends.

We learned in part about how NU got Tony. Snow coached Tony at UCLA. 3-3-5 Guru Rocky Long recruited White and hired him as a coach some years later. I like the idea of staying in that defense. Snow, Butler and the UCF guy have all been or are DCs and all have coached defensive backs. I think they can figure out how to tighten things up on passing downs. I’m pretty enthused about the situation.
Some people had a fascination with Garret McGuire and called him a future OC/HC for some reason, but Shorts immediately seems 100x more like a real deal up and comer to me.
I don't put much stock into what others say. I just look at the results on the field to judge.
